Duplicated packages after yum crash

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I had the the duuplicate rpms happen on a x86_64 install and rpm didn't
crash to cause it.  I 
basically listed all installed rpms and removed the older versions of
the rpms that were 
dupilcated and did another yum update and all seems ok.

 I'm trying to fix this mess. What I'm doing is using rpm -V to verify
the packages that are duplicated. For example, the newer glibc package
seems to verify just fine. And the old gives a lot of errors.

# rpm -V glibc-2.3.4-2.13
........C   /usr/lib64/gconv/gconv-modules.cache
.......T. c /etc/rpc
........C   /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache

# rpm -V glibc-2.3.4-2.9
.......T. c /etc/rpc
S.5....T.   /lib/i686/libc-2.3.4.so
S.5....T.   /lib/i686/libm-2.3.4.so

 Can I assume yum installed the newer version and just wasn't able to
remove the old entry somehow ?

 I tried to remove the older apr package and it seems it worked... but
glibc is.. special.

Thanks in advance,
